OAKLAND — The Alameda County Superior Court will reopen some public services starting on Monday and announced the release of another 14 inmates from jail.

The court is offering limited public courthouse access for records searches at the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse in Oakland starting Monday. However, only one person at a time will be allowed in the criminal office, and two in the civil office, with a time limit of 15 minutes per user. People will only be admitted if they wear a mask or respiratory covering, use hand sanitizer and comply with social distancing directives.

Those waiting for access will be asked to wait outside, before security screening inside the courthouse and maintain six feet distances apart from others.

In-person public access has been closed since the March 17 shelter-in-place was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reduced public access by only calling the court clerk’s office has resulted in limited information.

The court also announced Thursday that another 14 people were released from Santa Rita Jail, at the direction of the presiding judge. The 14 people had their bail reduced to $0. New orders by the Judicial Council of California and adopted by Alameda County Superior Court reduced bail of most misdemeanors to $0, as well as some low-level felonies to $0.

As of Friday, Santa Rita Jail’s population was 1,811 inmates, down from the daily average of 2,600.

Also starting on Monday, the court will resume a limited number of civil, family and probate matters, which will all be conducted by telephone or videoconference. They will be limited to emergency hearings filed before the March 17 shelter-in-place order was put into place.

Traffic court dates scheduled between March 17 and May 1 will also be extended for 120 days. The court will notify people with new court dates. Stating the week of May 4, the court will restart time not waived traffic matters remotely, through videoconferencing.

The Rene C. Davidson courthouse is located at 1225 Fallon St. in Oakland, and the clerk’s hours will be from from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information and updates, go to www.alameda.courts.ca.gov.
